Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI (v2) Instruction Manual

Увод

The Tech 21 SansAmp Para Driver DI (v2) is a versatile floor-based direct box and preamp designed to provide detailed tone shaping for various signal sources. It is particularly effective with acoustic, electric, and bass guitars, as well as upright bass, whether connected directly to a mixing console or an instrument amplifier. The SansAmp circuitry imparts a natural warmth and presence, emulating the sound of a miked tube pre-amp, while effectively eliminating harsh, unnatural harmonics often associated with piezo pickups. The Drive control allows for adding subtle to pronounced edge to your sound.

Кључне карактеристике

Контролна дугмад:

• НИВО: Подешава укупни излазни ниво педале.
• ТРЕБЛЕ: Контролише изједначавање високих фреквенција.
• СРЕДИНА: Контролише изједначавање средњих фреквенција.
• БАСС: Контролише изједначавање ниских фреквенција.
• ПОГОН: Adjusts the amount of SansAmp цев amplifier emulation and overdrive.
• МЕШАВИНА: Mixes the direct instrument signal with the SansAmp цев amplifier emulation.
• MID SHIFT (160Hz - 3kHz): Selects the specific mid-frequency point to be affected by the MID control.

Дугмад:

Везе:

• УЛАЗНИ: Улаз за инструмент од 1/4 инча.
• PARALLEL OUTPUT: 1/4-inch output that passes the unaffected input signal. Useful for sending a clean signal to an amplifier while the processed signal goes to a mixer.
• OUT (1/4"): Излаз од 1/4 инча за повезивање са ampлифиер или други ефекти.
• КСЛР ИЗЛАЗ: Балансирани XLR излаз за директно повезивање са миксерском конзолом или аудио интерфејсом.

Водич за подешавање

1. Прикључак за напајање: Connect a 9V DC power supply (not included) to the power input jack, or utilize phantom power from a mixer via the XLR output by engaging the "PHANTOM & GROUND CONNECT XLR" button.
2. Прикључак инструмента: Повежите свој инструмент (гитару, бас итд.) са ИНПУТ прикључак помоћу стандардног инструменталног кабла од 1/4 инча.
3. Излазна веза:
   • For direct connection to a mixer or audio interface, use an XLR cable from the КСЛР ОУТ to your mixer's input.
   • For connection to an instrument amplifier or other pedals, use a 1/4-inch cable from the OUT (1/4") Јацк.
   • To send an unaffected signal to another device (e.g., a tuner or a separate amplifier), use the ПАРАЛЕЛНИ ИЗЛАЗ.
4. Почетна подешавања: Before powering on, set all control knobs (LEVEL, TREBLE, MID, BASS, DRIVE, BLEND) to their 12 o'clock (noon) position. Ensure all push-buttons are disengaged for a neutral starting point.

Упутство за употребу

The SansAmp Para Driver DI (v2) offers extensive tonal flexibility. Experiment with the controls to find your desired sound.

Обликовање тонова:

• EQ Controls (TREBLE, MID, BASS): Adjust these to shape the overall frequency response. The МИД СХИФТ knob allows you to select the specific frequency (from 160Hz to 3kHz) that the MID control will boost or cut, providing precise control over your instrument's presence.
• ПОГОН: Increase this knob to add warmth, grit, or full-on overdrive. This emulates the sound of a driven tube ampлифиер.
• МЕШАВИНА: This control is crucial for mixing your direct instrument signal with the SansAmp processed signal. A lower BLEND setting will result in a cleaner sound with less SansAmp character, while a higher setting will emphasize the SansAmp's tube emulation and drive.
• RUMBLE FILTER: Engage this button to remove unwanted low-frequency noise, particularly useful for acoustic instruments or in situations where excessive bass frequencies are problematic.
• ВАЗДУХ: Press this button to add a subtle high-frequency boost, enhancing the clarity and "airiness" of your tone, especially beneficial for acoustic guitars.

Output Level Management:

• НИВО: Use this to set the overall output volume. Adjust it to match the input requirements of your ampлифиер или миксер.
• -20dB XLR: If the signal sent to your mixer via the XLR output is too hot and causing clipping, engage this button to reduce the output level by 20dB.

Одржавање

• Чишћење: Користите меку, суву крпу за чишћење спољашњости уређаја. Избегавајте абразивна средства за чишћење или раствараче.
